Borderlands. The run-down aesthetic, the wasteland planet, the venal yet heroic protagonists, the corporate big bads, the alien mystery. This franchise pushes so many of my buttons that I sometimes think of running it. I think the protagonists all could be accurately modeled as starting Traveller (Classic/Mongoose/Cepheus) PCs, though the intense gunplay of the series might not be the best fit for the system; if one wants a combat-heavy game, with leveling and loot as well, Stars Without Number might be a better fit.
Elder Scrolls. This one's had more than one fan adaptation (that I'm looking into right now) and even an abortive module by Bethesda itself (marred by plagiarism) but it really did deserve a comprehensive, official Runequest (Mythras) edition with all those fascinating races and factions laid out for ease of use. With material for each clasic era (ESO, Morrowind, Oblivion, Skyrim).
Warcraft. This one's had some adaptations but IMHO none that's ever done it justice. Shadow of the Demon Lord is probably the system that's come the closest to it in spirit.
